Small update on Dmitry's situation

[Alexander Gerasiov <gq@debian.org>]

Hello list,

I just want to post some updates on situation around Dmitry Bogatov's
arrest.

Sad news: Dmitry is still in jail. Appeal court on Tuesday declined
lawyers protests and left Dmitry imprisoned till the June.

Local supporters organized website http://freebogatov.org/en with
common info about the case and latest news.

EFF in collaboration with Access Now made some journalists
investigation and posted the support statement:

Dmitry and his family thanks all the people (and Debian folks of course)
for their support. It helps them a lot.

Since there are many problems in Russia with overseas donations the
only available way to donate is to use the BitCoin (at least until it's
not denied by government). Wallet 1DAQicntXrUquSytKrobL5j6NzpgjeFWXo is
managed by Dmitry's lawyer in the best interests of the family.

Some black humor: prison's censor blacked out mention of "GNU awk"
from one of Dmitry's mail. Beware of awk, it's dangerous.

Take care of yourself,
